Rumored to be the future coach of T1, League of Legends caster and she was harassed by Korean fans

Last week, during a livestream, T1 Support player Lee “Effort” Sang Ho suddenly revealed a Discord chat frame between team members. According to the content in the chat box, the former gamer StarCraft 2 Choi “Polt” Seong Hun and caster and analyst League of Legends Nick “LS” De Cesare will become the next T1 coaches. This has caused mixed reactions in the fan community of this team.​

​

The outcry from T1 fans has continued to escalate in recent days, with LS becoming the target of attacks from these fanatics. During a recent livestream, Fnatic mid laner Tim “Nemesis” Lipovšek also revealed that the “rumored coach” grandmother is also being harassed: “His grandma is being harassed… Those people really want something bad to happen to him.”

Faced with such pressure, LS was forced to close its Twitter account earlier this week. Many famous figures in the village Esportswhich includes IWDominate who expressed outrage at the action:

​

The reason T1’s fans objected so strongly was due to two reasons: First, Polt was completely inexperienced in coaching and playing League of Legends. Team T1 (formerly SKT T1) three times Champion of Worlds and winning countless other tournaments, fans felt that Polt didn’t fit T1’s standards. The second is due to LS and the controversy surrounding this caster’s personality. Many Korean fans have nicknamed LS the “controversial one” because of his conflict with SKT player Park “Untara” Ui Jin during his time as coach of BBQ Oliviers.

Even T1 fans rented a truck to run through the streets of Seoul with banners protesting against the decision of T1 management. Currently, T1 management has not yet responded to this incident.​
